IRE LA ND^IS UNDER MARTIAL LA
REBE ÊS STILL HOLD
BUILDINGS IN THE
City of Dublin
Premier Asquith Admits That Situation
Is Serious, but Believes Government
Can Handle If Successfully
London, April 27.—Martial law has been proclaimed throughout all Ireland. Pre
mier Asquith announced today that rebels continue to hold important public buildings
in Dublin and street encounters are still in progress. Major General Sir John Max
well, formerly commander of the British forces in Egypt, has departed for Ireland and
has been given plenary powers under martial law over the whole country. The pre
said there would be a searching investigation into the cause of the outbreak. He
said* it was obviously necessary to exercise military censorship while martial law pre
vailed in Ireland. Sir Edward Carson and John Redmond, who led opposing factions
in the Irish Lidme rule controversy, expressed
their desire to support the government.
Premier Asquith said the Irish situation still presented serious features and there
were indications of the spread of the movement to other parts of Ireland, especially in
the west. Troops in Ireland have been and are being strongly reinforced. The gov
ernment is satisfied, Premier Asquith said, that the force dispatched was adequate to
deal with the situation. Irish authorities will place themselves at the disposal of Major
General Maxwell to cam' out his instructions.
Viscount Middleton attacked the government in the house of lords today for failing
to take heed of the warning regarding the activities of Sinn Feiners. He asked what
the government meant by saying Tuesday that the situation was well in hand when so
far as his information went, at the very time the assurance was given not only
the rebels in possession of a number of prominent parts of Dublin, but no attempts had
been made to dislodge them.
Viscount Middleton said he understood telegraphic communication with Dublin
almost entirely interrupted by the rebels when they seized the post office and cut the
wires and cables to England. The authorities, he continued, had been aware that large
numbers of Sinn Feiners had been drilled for months. They possessed explosives and
were well provided with money. Influential persons advised the government of these
things with the urgent request that action be taken. The present situation was one of
greatest dangey, he asserted.
